problem with gnutls in my local emacs build.

Hello,

I have a problem with gnutls in my local emacs build, on Fedora 34.

I get this error:

emacs -Q

(package-refresh-contents)

  
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (gnutls-error #<process elpa.gnu.org> -402)
  signal(gnutls-error (#<process elpa.gnu.org> -402))

  command-line()
  normal-top-level()

I build from master from time to time, and my previous build works fine.
There is a difference in gnutls versions though:
  
working emacs:
libgnutls-version is a variable defined in ‘C source code’.

Its value is 30615


Broken emacs:
libgnutls-version is a variable defined in ‘src/gnutls.c’.

Its value is 30702

So I guess maybe something happened in the Fedora gnutls packages?

So I was thinking I should try to use a local gnutls build, so I can
tweak the config parameters to suit emacs. I would like this gnutls
build to be only know by emacs, and not the entire machine.

Is there some way to do this, other than building the pieces I want in
a container or something?

Thanks
/Joakim/

Hi

I've been troubled by GNUTLS too. So in my Ubuntu focal buils, I have
version 3.6.13 and in my macOS I made sure to have the last 3.6 version and
currently (knock wood) have no problems.

You seem to have the development version for GNUTLS (3.7) and I'm inclined
to say that that may be the cause. Try downgrading GNUTLS to 3.6 in Fedora
(which BTW I have no clue of how to do it or if it even is possible).

My .2 cents, /PA
